Our Legal Lens on the Unified Patent Court newsletter is designed to keep patent holders and legal departments well-informed of the latest updates and strategic insights on the new patent court.
What you’ll find in the June 2024 issue:
- The court of first instance granted a preliminary injunction in 10x Genomics, Inc. v. Curio Bioscience Inc., applying the “more likely than not” standard established by the appeal decision in NanoString Technologies v. 10x Genomics, Inc., and requiring 10x Genomics to provide security before enforcing the injunction.
- In a pair of recent decisions, the UPC imposed a new practice not explicitly covered by the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court and the UPC Rules of Procedure by strictly limiting the number of invalidity arguments that can be made during interim proceedings and expanding the flexibility for infringement contentions in each case on the merits.
- The Central Division Milan opened its doors on June 26, 2024, and will handle cases related to human necessities, which were previously distributed to the Central Division Paris.
